  • I don’t understand this.

    If I put on something with video I want to absorb it. There’s more video content in existence than I could ever watch, I always want to watch something worth watching. If it’s something I’ve seen before them I’m rewatching because it was entertaining enough that I want to watch it again. Even if I try to ignore it, it’s good enough that it’ll rope me in.

    Put something on and not watch it? Is it boring enough that it’s not pulling you in? It’s just background noise? Then why isn’t it a podcast or something?

    If you’re ignoring it then why turn it on? Do you turn on lights in rooms you’re not in? It feels… like something just above brainrot. Like it’s not rotting you, but either it’s not engaging or it’s just background noise (with an unused visual component)

    “Why does there gotta be so many psudo-scientific internet ‘laws’ of common human behavioral archetypes with a half baked Wikipedia entry?”

    Because of SmokeyDope’s law.

    "If more than two humans ever exhibit the same behavior or particular complex that eventually there will be some armchair academic undergrad who will attempt to needlessly define it just to get to say “complex-fancy-sirname’s law” "
